The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM) publishes the following questions regarding potential collaboration for the reuse of its heavy water inventory at the Savannah River Site (SRS). SRS has about 530,000 gallons of heavy water, which may be processed using scalable methods to remove tritium and other impurities, to ensure the water meets commercial standards for new heavy water. The purpose of this RFI is to seek input on how DOE-EM can facilitate the beneficial reuse of this material specifically to support domestic scientific, medical, and industrial needs, thereby strengthening the United States (U.S.) isotope supply chain. DOE-EM is also open to discussions regarding the potential for interested parties to lease land or develop facilities on the SRS site for heavy water processing or repurposing activities. Respondents should note that industry partners would be responsible for the subsequent extraction of isotopes or repurposing of the material.
